Confluence of the Brenta river, Piovego canal, and Brenta Naviglio

Highlight • River

In Stra, the Piovego canal flows into the Brenta river, at the height of the Naviglio del Brenta, an important historical waterway between Padua and Venice. The intersection is regulated by locks such as the Porte Vinciane, which allow for hydraulic control and navigation, also contributing to the protection of the lagoon.

This junction is part of the broader hydraulic structure of the Veneto plain, articulated into upper, middle, and lower plain. The upper plain features permeable soils with deep water tables, while the middle and lower ones are characterized by finer sediments and shallower water tables, requiring a network of canals and reclamation works to manage water and prevent floods.

Brentella Canal

Highlight • River

I grew up there, along the Brentella, Caselle area towards Tencarola where the canal then enters the Bacchiglione da Stocco (historic trattoria located on the bridge that separates Tencalola from Brusegana/Ciamician (Padua district) the first stretch comes from the Brenta, separating from it at Barchessa di Limena, continuing to Taggì di Sotto, Sarmeola and finally the border between Caselle (my city, in the municipality of Selvazzano inside) and Padua, where it then flows, joining the Bacchiglione in the Brusegana area (at the Stocco bridge already mentioned), which then he directs to Bassanello.
done a thousand thousand times by bike and also with the Canadian canoe, sometimes. and I immersed myself in the bacchiglione, with the tanks and the wetsuit: they were some rocks as big as lead batteries, but not good enough to eat.

February 28, 2025,Un montanaro emiliano alla scoperta del veneto : anello di Padova per ritrovare la pedalata "piangiana"

Pedaling on the plain is completely different from cycling in the mountains, there are no hard climbs where you can't give up until it flattens out, there are no descents where you recover but a continuous pedaling that you can increase or decrease as you like, but it continues. I like the ring, a fun walk in the city that …

45 km of embankments, except 2 interruptions for construction sites. It uses part of the Brenta cycle path, the path of St. Anthony and the Via dei Giusti. Easy dirt roads. 2 rivers and then the canals, all around the city. Immersed in nature but, for me, a bit ...boring
